Hard to swallow. Barely a few days after promising to “make America healthy again”President-elect Donald Trump and his future health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., were photographed chowing down on hamburgers and fries from McDonald's. “Making America Healthy Again Starts TOMORROW”ironically wrote Donald Trump Jr, the eldest son of the president-elect, by publishing on his social networks a photo of the dinner in which he participated, aboard his father's plane, also in the company of billionaire Elon Musk and the Republican president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson.

The small group traveled to New York on Saturday evening to attend an evening of mixed martial arts (MMA) at Madison Square Garden. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., heir to the famous Democratic political family, campaigned with Donald Trump before the November 5 presidential election, promising, among other things, to tackle the “junk food”.

“For too long, Americans have lived crushed by the food industrial complex and pharmaceutical companies”Donald Trump said when announcing the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday. On social networks, Internet users have pointed out that the future Minister of Health is the one who seems the least enthusiastic and the least smiling among the guests at the table.

Conspiracy theory believer and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a 70-year-old lawyer, has long advocated that the United States stem its obesity epidemic by reducing high levels of sugar, fat and processed foods with high additive content in the national diet.

Just last week, he was scathing about Donald Trump's diet. “What he eats is really bad”he declared to Joe Polish's podcast, particularly attacking the menu offered on board the Republican billionaire's plane. “Country food is always bad, but the food that comes on the plane is real poison”he blurted out. “You have no choice, we either give you KFC or Big Macs.”
